You can only imagine how long it took before I found a bubbler that I wanted to base my design here off of ⏱ and so this piece was then inspired by @thejanewest bubbler and of course I send my appreciation for that 🙏 (one of these are now available, link in bio❗️)!--😯 not sure how many of you know the process of ceramics but I’ll tell you it’s a long one! 😓 So after a piece is made it usually goes into the kiln to become a solid, none workable piece at a temperature of about 1900 degrees! ♨️ After, the glass glaze is applied and soaks into the to bisque fired clay 🏺 Next it goes into the kiln again to melt the glass to the clay and that’s where this beautiful natural gas kiln comes into play 🎉 with a gas atmosphere it really brings the colors to life by adding or removing elements within the glaze as it melts 🌋 !--As for this bubbler, it wouldn’t have these vibrant colors without the gas kilns help! 🚧 I was able to buy this kiln from the high school I went to and after I realized how damaged it was, I decided to repair the whole thing! 🛠 took me over 100 hours to rebuild this, with the bottom floor, door, and front wall being completely rebuilt! ❤️ I always wanted a gas kiln and I’m so glad to have one because it makes a world of a difference with color, strength, and feel 📊 Thanks for reading, take care today!--#gaskiln#potterykiln#ceramickiln#atmospherickiln#potteryart#firebrick#cone10#ceramics101#ceramicbubbler#bubbler#glassbubbler#headybubbler#janewest#shopjanewest#ceramicpipes#ceramicpipe#ceramicsmokeware#claypipe#claypipes#kiln#kilnfired#kilngods#glassofig#ceramicsofig#glassporn#calikush#glaze#pipeshop
